Sometimes of course if you're a rager you can always doubleblock it (that's probably not right and should be changed) Its fun seeing 5 daggers snap in one hour because of twist.

Yes, you have to master things to be any good with a dagger spec (well, most classes too) Its really quite easy since you can just run around doing first attacks on easy mobs.

I usually try to start with hamstring when I think I'll win...maybe I'm just getting lucky and they're lagged out when I think they're out of mv.
Artery is great for pks...plus its always fun to see your groupmates get mad when the mobs you're killing die from bleeding.
Hurl, well, I haven't gotten a chance to use it too much.
Concealed is a bitch to make it improve.
Of course, the only reason I'm moderately succesful is because I'm a rager and have resistance. Use a shield too.
Playing a dagger spec is all about being amused by the echoes your skills give and the yells from people you attack. If I didn't want to suck, I'd make a bard.
Oh yes, I might as well add another thing. Dagger helpfiles are worthless and are only there to confuse the people that haven't played a dagger spec before.

> stab - When you miss you can parry/dodge thier attacks, I always did.
Most of my shit was mastered so thats probaly why I did decent.
And those are about the only two things I used. Oh and that one shield that grabs your enemys weapons always worked well for me =P I always seemed to loot those every other day with my famous arial merc =P
Master your defenses and all your dagger spec skills and you should do alright. Though I do have to admit all those openening attack skills are a joke. Usually I would just screw my dagger and Wield a big ol axe and sword backed with pwent =P
Underhand is good for chasing people around in pks.
